- An illustrated book describes the aromatic group of each aroma, its odoriferous features, and its presence in the world’s coffees, as well as the art of coffee growing, roasting, and brewing.

It enables you to:
1. Train and enrich your olfactory memory…
The sense of smell constitutes the most important sense in the perception of a coffee. But it is often difficult to identify an aroma in your coffee cup. Have you already encountered the feeling that you know a smell without being able to recognize it? Nothing is more normal! In the same way that we learned to read, write, or count, smelling also requires training.

2. …to better analyze the coffee that you taste
But “What use is that?” First of all, recognizing aromas enriches your tasting vocabulary. Being able to attach a word to your impressions increases your tasting pleasure and allows you to share your ideas with others. Then, the aromas of coffee inform us about its varietal and geographic origin and the different steps in its creation, from the methods of cultivation through the roasting of the beans to the techniques of preparation.
Le Nez du Café thus permits you not only to perfect your sense of smell but also to understand the process of creating the coffee that produces the aromas.
This work is designed for professionals as well as connoisseurs eager to deepen their knowledge.

This product is used in the activities and practical exams of the SCA Sensory Skills courses for all three course levels: Foundation, Intermediate and Professional courses.

Quote: “My greatest difficulty was always with vanilla, chocolate, and caramel. For me, they were very similar. I needed this box to train myself to distinguish them. Le Nez du Café helped me clarify things: to be on the same level as other people in the industry, to talk about coffee at cuppings or in my daily routine, talking about a coffee you just brewed, or an espresso.”

Artist’s books!

Book-works call upon several senses: sight and touch but also smell, breaking at once from the conventional way we relate to books. Open it up like a jewel case, slip off its sleeve or wooden sliding top, and you will discover a book and a collection of small glass vials. Pick one and nose it: it will open up a whole new world for you!
Jean Lenoir’s brainchild is placed under the patronage of visual artist Daniel Spoerri, who gave him the idea of designing « book objects » in 1980. The creator of « snare-pictures », vertically immortalized remains of meals, liked to gather different sensory experiences together. For example, he opened up a restaurant where he cooked.

Our book-objects are designed by graphic artists. In 2004, we entrusted Atelier ter Bekke & Behage with the visual identity of Editions Jean Lenoir. In 2006, Evelyn ter Bekke et Dirk Behage gave a new colorful graphic design to the entire collection of Le Nez du Vin, which has become a reference. They then translated the equally rich aromatic personality of whisky into another strong work, where materials and shapes unite with talent.
The graphic design of Le Nez du Café is by Franco-Swiss designer Roger Pfund, who is from Switzerland and from Burgundy. Le Nez du Café 36 aromas Passion won an award for “high design quality” from the famous Design Center in Essen (Design Zentrum Nordrhein-Westfalen).


An artisanal expertise
For every part of the work —e.g. glassware, paper, printing, screen printing— we rely on the know-how of talented artisans. As Evelyn and Dirk said about the making of Le Nez du Whisky in an interview with Visible magazine: “What’s most important in such an adventure is that each artisan passes the baton to the next. Every one is involved as a partner, not just as a simple executor. For months on ends, the professionals in these companies got together to work on this object ‘made in France’. They all spoke the same language, that of luxury. They all used the same vocabulary, that of individually and collectively high standards, that of quality and respect."
